Dolly Dingle - This quilt based on design of "Ashley" quilt by . My mother and I collaberated together to make the quilt. She drew the the "Dolly" face based on a paper doll she played with as a child by the name of Dolly Dingle. The majority of the fabric was chosen by her. I designed the brownie uniform in the quilt. All other clothing designs were part of the purchased pattern. This quilt and one other quilt were my first entries into a quilt show. It was a small show in Midlothian, Texas. Both ended up winning blue ribbons (what a neat surprise). The quilt now resides on a bed in my mother's home.

Jeremy's Jungle Frogs - This is the first project Jeremy made on his own, with his Hello Kitty Janome sewing machine. He was 5 when he pieced this top. It's still a UFO, but he plans to quilt it this summer.

Checking Out - This quilt resulted from playing with dozens of half-square triangles from batik squares on my design wall. It is currently on display at Ithaca Bakery until May 3, 2009.

Charleston Blues - Quite a departure for someone who appreciates more traditional quilts!

Kitties in the Stash - Novelty fabric of cats sleeping in mounds of fabric needed just the right showcase and this design was it!!

Serenity Prayer Quilt - Trapunto and machine quilting are used to bring this preprinted panel to life. Embroidery threads accent the water. rocks and trees. Each letter in the Serenity Prayer, as well as each leaf and tree branch is outline quilted.

JT's Sports Quilt - After "helping" Grammy sew a little each summer for a couple of years, JT wanted to make a quilt himself. Under the direction of Grammy, he learned to cut the pieces, sew a straight line, iron the seams, make the blocks, then the rows, and finally, into the quilt top. The prairie points were added then it was quilted using a quarter inch outline.

Converging Butterflies - First quilt in Ricky's book Convergence. I beaded butterflies in several places.

Purple Mended Hearts - The Mended Hearts blocks were made with a variety of purple fabrics. To make it a queen size bed cover, drop borders with hand-guided, machine embroidered with pale lilac hearts were added.

Minimum Speed 5 mph - Learned to precision piece with this BAM guild learning project taught by quilt artist Joyce Hogue. My first attempt at free motion quilting, I used over 2,000yds of thread and different techniques in the 12 blocks. My BerninaAurora440QE made it a breeze!

My First Flower Garden - My very first pieced quilt, which I also hand quilted. Added prarie points and diagonal lines to improve my color and design. Showing only a portion to view folded flowers better.

snake in the jungle - I just had fun with this and experimented. It would never pass for perfect technique but oh how fun putting it together! I would enjoy entering it into an art show.
